ver.9 does not play files named in Cyrillic

[krasev]

problems with Cyrillic... and probably with other languages...
SageTV Version 9 does not play files named in Cyrillic, when I rename them in not Cyrillic letters they play just fine. However version 7 plays any files named in Cyrillic with no problem...
then as long I started talking about languages... in ver.7 Youtube plugin does not show Cyrillic names in the video lists, but previous channel lists are OK... in ver.9 however everything is fine with Youtube but as I mentioned it does not play files named in Cyrillic...
maybe I have to change some settings in properties files? so far I have only these settings:

None of those settings should matter. Can you post a log file from when it works in V7 and then also another one from when it doesn't work in V9? That should probably give me enough info to fix it....bonus points for adding a zip file that contains a filename with cyrillic characters in it so it can be reproduced easily.

Log files SageTV7 and SageTV9 playing files with names in English and in Cyrillic

I played MP4 file named in Cyrillic "ТриПлюсДва-1963.mp4"
first on computer, then on extender (SageTV HD200).

SageTV7 played file on computer and on extender without any problem
sagetv7.zip has SageTV7 log + Sage.properties + extender client properties file

SageTV9 played file on computer without any problem, but on extender it could not play, after renaming file from Cyrillic "ТриПлюсДва-1963.mp4" to English "ThreePlusTwo-1963.mp4" it played just fine as well.
Well mostly I use SageTV from my extender for big screen TV and on extender SageTV9 does not play files in Cyrillic.
sagetv9.zip has SageTV9 log + Sage.properties + extender client properties file

ТриПлюсДва-1963.zip - 5 seconds movie named in Cyrillic I played

OK, I saw a code change that I have no idea why I made it that would totally explain this. I've checked the change into GitHub (I didn't test it because it seemed pretty clear this would cause the problem). Let me know the results after you try out a new build.

[krasev]

but where can I get the new build to try? so far I can see only 9.03.170 at this location http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62422
and with this build I can not play files named in Cyrillic on my extender HD200...

You can either build it yourself.... Or, you need to wait for me, or someone else to build it and post it I haven't done a build in a while, but I can try to do one tonight or tomorrow.

Thank you very much

Everything works ! SageTV9 plays files named in Cyrillic on the extender HD200 and on the computer without any problem... this problem is solved

There is a good news... now SageTV9 shows all names in Cyrillic in Youtube, previous build didn't show Cyrillic names there were just empty rows... and Youtube 2015 start working... earlier it was impossible to play anything... problems with download and names in Cyrillic... now everything looks just fine

SageTV in stand alone mode plays everything just fine. However SageTV in server mode has problem playing files named in Cyrllic on a computer, but it has no problem playing files in extender.
I checked both ways: I deleted "SageClient.properties" file and I duplicated "SageClient.properties" file from "Sage.properties" and in both ways I could not play files named in Cyrillic on a computer, but I could play the same files on extender with no problems.

Search in Youtube in Cyrillic does not give any results or gives some garbage.

any possibility to remove from the menu next choices:

or move them at the end of the list and to put first:

I honestly don't know Maybe Jeff will have some thoughts on this.

Is this part of the Youtube Plugin? If so, you might want to ask in the Youtube plugin thread.

Can you post the client & server logs from when you try to do playback and it fails? (and set "media_server_debug=true" in the Sage.properties file on the server before you do this)

[krasev]

C:\Data\SageTV\SageTV\sagetv_0.txt
C:\Data\SageTV\SageTV\sagetvclient_0.txt

_____________________________

debug_logging=TRUE
media_server/transcode_debug=false
media_server_debug=true
_____________________________

Server started, then SageTV.exe, played on computer the same file named in Cyrilic "ТриПлюсДва-1963.mp4"

in server log (I guess it's sagetv_0.txt) the name's introduced as "??????????-1963.mp4", but in client log (sagetvclient_0.txt) the name's introduced right way in Cyrillic "ТриПлюсДва-1963.mp4"

without starting server it plays without any problem on computer and extender... it plays any file named in Cyrillic on extender HD200 without problem as well

[Narflex]

There must be something in your client config where you're forcing it to use MPlayer for playback rather than DirectShow. We apparently never added Unicode filename support for playback in MPlayer, and that's why it's failing.

I think the setting you have wrong is that you have:

always_use_dshow_player=false

set on your client and it defaults to true...so change it back to true.

[krasev]

after changing line
always_use_dshow_player=
from "false" to "true"
it plays any file named in Cyrillic everywhere now... in extender, in computer with and without server running... Thank you

maybe any idea with Youtube 2015? I wrote in their branch about it that impossible to make any search in Cyrillic and so far no answer...
there is no any results if you search in Cyrillic... none...
